Summary

Shopify brands and IT teams work with me to design and scale support setups that are fast, reliable, and aligned with their business goals. This includes strategic support design for scalable, efficient operations, process optimization, team enablement, workshops and trainings, and the setup or improvement of helpdesk systems.

A core focus is Gorgias: Configuration, automation design, audits, and AI-agent set-up or optimization with measurable impact.

A key part of my strategy is proactive customer support: Reducing avoidable tickets, ensuring customers get the information they need before they have to ask, and preventing frustration through proactive communication and clear incident updates.

The result: shorter response times, smoother workflows, fewer manual tasks, and a support experience that feels effortless.

If you want a scalable and dependable support setup, send me a message - or book your free initial consultation.
